phe Value of Woman's rims.

"Did you ever stop to think what
a peculiar position the housekeeper
occupies? The results of her labOrs
are not recognized in the commercial
world. Anything that has no com
mercial value is in a general way re-
garded as having no value at all so
the housekeeper's work is the cipher
in commercial notation. Ask Young
America what he does, he Will tell
you and the wages he gets. He will
give a like answer with regard to his
fathers employment, and in all prob
ability he can give a creditable &C
count for all the family till he comes
to his mother but when asked what
she does his answer is invariably
something like this oh, nothing she
keeps house. Little that boy knows
of his mothers work, and yet he gives
it as full a recognition as the world
has ever done. But the root of the
evil comes in the fact that woman
herself does not appreciate the worth
of her work. Because the self-sacrihc-
ING hands do not know the honor aad
dignity of their work, it finds no place
among the so-called industries, where
its rank should be second to zone. A
man goes to his office, where, free
from social and domestic duties, he
can devote his whole mind and time
to his business. But a very different
estimate is put OH a woman's time IL
belongs to everybody but herself, and
hence is subject at any time to all
sorts of Interruptions. Unhappily a
a woman cannot say, Go and come
again to her friends, though she can
ill-afford at the time to devote an hour
or more to them. But she must do it
or lose her friends. Then she soon
falls into the habit of thinking that
the time spent in following her own
tastes is defrauding her family of just
so much that belongs to tin short
to act conscientiously, her whole life
must be consumed in trivial every
dav duties for which she gets no
credit. What wonder is it, consider
inc her lack of training and the many
Interruptions against which she has
no defence, that woman put no high
er estimate upon her time? The life
of the average housekeeper, deprived
of its force and meaning by its many
and various cares, is like a stream
hat disappears in some sandy waste.
This but one of the many perplexing
questions that are year by year claim
ing attention and solution. Woman
is becoming such an important factor
in all branches of industry that her
time will soon be of great Importance
to her. Then a change will take place
and all previous customs must con
form to the new order of things then
but not till then, will woman's time
bear the stamp of its value"

at The Pool of Bethesda.

At The Pool Of
The sun was beating down upon
the earth that surrounded the pool
of water. Beside the water there
Law many sick persons. The beds
upon which they lay, and those were
only thick quilts or cOmfortables,
were but little protection to their
aching bodies, and they were Impa-
tientlv waiting for the angel OF heal
inc to step into the water and trouble
il. How anxiously they must have
watched for the coming of the angel,
who would only appear at a "certaln
season :" 1t was a great multitude
that waited upon the brink of that
water every sort of disease was to
be healed by it. Impatient folk,
blind, some halt, withered, were
waiting, filled with faith in the heal
ing power of the pool of Bethesda.
One of the sick, who had been a
sufferer during thirty and eight long
years, who had probably come to
that place many times, perhaps IN
each one of the thirty and eight years
of suffering, was feeling discouraged,
lest after these waters were troubled,
some one else should step in before
him, and get the healing touch.
But while he lay there, thinking
over the very many years that had
80 slowly dragged with him, that had
been - full of misery, and wishing
so very sincerely that some person
would come to help him into the
healing water, some one spoke to
him in such a tender, pitying voice
as only Jesus could use. Listen to
the tenderness that echoes through
the words, Jesus say him, and
knowing how long a time he had
been sick, said to him, "Wilt thou
be made whole? ?" Was that not
lust what he had been coming so
often to obtain? He did not know
who spoke to him, for he answered,
Sir, l have no man to put me into
the pool" That was of no onse-
quence. At the word of Jesus, he
was Immediately made whole. The
pool of Bethesda is now only a great
reservoir, hundreds Of feet large in
width and length, but it is quite dry.
No water flows into it or out of it.
Even if it is in the Valley of Jehos-
haphat, no ancient reservoirs feed it.
Earth has formed in it, and pOme-
granate trees grow upon it, next to a
blush wild tamarind. The lambs
destined for sacrifice are no longer
washed in its water, and nc more
does the angel come down to trouble
the waters to give them a healing
power.
How many years has your soul
been waiting by the pool of Bethes-
da-ten, twenty, thirty years? You
say the pool is dry, and the power
to heal is gone. All but the blood
of Christ, that was shed upon Calva-
ry, is your Bethesda. You need not
wait for any certain season, nor, in
deed. for the angel to come down,
for His blood has cleansing in it for
every sinsick soul. Do you need the
Saviour's touch? Are you, soul and
body, SC weary that you a no long
er will them to move? Are you
waiting as you have been, perhaps
during thirty and eight years?
Then come to the dear Jesus, who
by His blood opened a fountain for
sin and uncleanness-not a sluggish
pool, but the ~ever-lowing fountain.
And, as a still, small voice, you will
hear the comforting words, "Rise,
take up thy bed and walk.'-Chris-
tjGn at Work.

A Beloved Disciple.

By the Sea of Galilee a father and
his sons were fishing. All night long
they had toiled, and had caught
nothing. They seem to have been
men in good circumstances, for they
were able to minister to the wants
of the Saviour but having been out
in their boat all night and having
taken no fish, they were weary and
left off trying to catch fish and were
washing their nets. But at Jesus
command they took in such a draught
of fishes that their boat began to
sink.
How like that Is to ourselves in
striving SO hard to obtain success,
and when it is granted to us we do
not know what to do with it, but cry
out for help!
No doubt John expected to be al
ways a fisherman as his father was,
but Jesus often has other work for
us 10 no DcSlOtS GudI WHICH, We uldN
have chosen, and when He calls us.
as He did John, we must forsake all
else.
One does not need to be old before
being able to do the Lords work, for
John is supposed to have been the
youngest of all the disciples. yet he
was beloved. At the last supper,
when Christ was about to leave them,
as they reclined upon their touches
to eat, as was the custom, when
Jesus told them that one should be-
tray Him, the beloved disciple leaned
back against Jesus breast, and look
ing up into the face that he loved,
he asked, "Lord, is it II" Long
wears afterwards when he was grown
too old to say much, when he had
lost the power to walk so that he
had TO be carried to the assemblies
of the people, he would reach forth
his hands and say: Little children,
love one another :" and when they
would not understand why he would
not talk more to them, he would tell
them that if they obeyed the COM
mand of love that then they had
the whole of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ.
Are we beloved disciples? In the
day that HE shall sit as a refiner
and purifier of silver" when the
Jewels are fastened together will our
souls be a part of the crown of re-
joicing? And when the years are
too heavy upon us to allow us to do
the Lords work will we as beloved
disciples spend our time talking of
the love that in our estate Of life
was teaching us to take u part IN
the new song that will be sung be-
fore the throne by the redeemedN
Christian at Work.

Woman's Best Work

To shut up every woman in la
dwelling house and make of her an
animated broom and dustpan is to
abuse a great many women and ruin
a great many houses. But though a
woman may hold in her hand a pen
tipped with the fire of genius, or a
brush that paints her name in glory,
or a chisel that carves her fame
among the everything great-the
woman who makes her home the
her family is the one that does the.
best thing any woman a do. Work
and rest are the enforced conditions
of life. Men must work, and home
should be for them above all things
a place of rest. 1t must be then, a
place of bodily comfort and mental
cheer. 1t must be a place Of order
and q%uietness. 1t should be a clean
" place. Scolding and ill-temper
and complaining spoil the spirit of
any home. For a home is not a sub
stance a thing it is IN essence.
True housekeeping consists not only
in cleaning things, but keeping them
clean. Still, there is such a thing
as keeping house anXiously. Clean
illness that forbids freedom is an evil.
There are those who will not let
trees grow about their house because
they shed their leaves. | know a
woman who calls up the members of
her family to measure their finger
prints when she detects such marks
on her window glass or wood work.
l knew a man who to his dying day
stepped on a door sill, but
always carefully over it, so strong
did the impression remain with him
of his mothers rigid housekeeping.
A Chair Pillow.
Directions for making one of these
comfortable as well as ornamental
innovations of the day are given in
the DOrcdS Magazine. The pillow
may be made of any material desired
to match furniture or drapery, but if
this is not wished, Turkish toweling
will look well with anything or in
any chair. Make the lining for the
pillow or stout cloth or drill twenty
four inches long and fifteen wide /;
fill with curled hair and fasten the
ends securely. Work two strips,
four inches wide and fifteen long, of
cloth, or felt, in any pretty design,
and chainstitch them on the right
side of the pillow. If embroidery
is too tedious, cut cretOnne flowers
and basic them on the strips, and
embroider over a portion of them
with silk of the same color, button
holing the flowers around the edge.
If the pillow is to hang curved, a
plat must be laid in the centre, so
that the middle of the pillow will
rest midway down the back of the
chair and the two ends higher on
either side. Gather the ends and
tie with a bow of ribbon and short
ends. The edge of the goods may
be worked in buttonhole scallops,
or finished with lace crocheted of
worsted and silk. Suspend from
the back of the chair with a heavy
twisted cord and fluffy ~tassels.
